that aint the full list for the mods dude

ECU i aint decided on yet

amd not just for the sake of it either

just spend your money wisely otherwise you'll end up with an expensive 170bhp motor.

Jap cams are out of date and poor in design, so are their pistons and throttle bodies.......infact i cant think of anything jap that i would buy apart from the tyres.

Big Tin, i think benr is right! Take this for example!

4age
overbore to size 0.5 (81.5)
wiseco high comp pistons
0.8mm steel head gasket
shaved head
282 intake and exhaust cams at 8.3 mm lift
megasquirt ecu
full done exhaust
complete airbox intake


that will give around 170 hp in the engine. GOing further the tvis must go and be replaced for throttle bodies!

and perhapsi may be just be wishing in that spec


but it is something to aim for


still dont know what way i am going to go with my engine


but i want to build a mad engine

4AGTE. But change tranny and rear end first :-)

[The Big Yin]

and normally aspirated

[The Big Yin]

yeah

will have my diff back next week

so can get the car all built up and ready to rock again

need to go take it for an MoT as well, that ran out on ther 31st Jan
114 mile round trip for that
to the only guy I trust to MoT the car for me, I trust very few with the keys to the car after what happened to the white one.

as for paneling the back off, I did get it done very very very thin MDF and accoustic felt


need to put the dash back in
seats, clocks
wire guages up
refit drive shaft
diff and pumpkin
halfshafts
tyres on wheels

and MoT tax and insure the car

Good news man!

I'm sure she'll pass without problems!

[The Big Yin]

well

it has been 2 months since the car last started and about 4 months since i have driven her

today i filled the radiator up and got her started, god what a sound, i missed that so much, the rumble from the exhaust, the sweet sound of a 4A-GE



here are some pics of the rear

I like the overall look of the car. I would just clean it up a bit. No exposed wires and paint the engine bay, but that also depends on what your final goal with the car is.
